*Denise* Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Ok..I'm not too pleased about this decision because I don't like programs like this but, in anticipation of a future role as a judge (thing that can happen, in my opinion) I only hope it'll help Uk people rediscover Mika. Not a great way to show off but these programs have proven useful (as happened here in Italy or in France). By the way I hope it'll be only a parenthesis... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'll be forever thankful to the BBC, for giving MIKA the opportunity to make these great music programs! And maybe even more thankful to the BBC News Team, who brought MIKA to Lebanon, to meet the Syrian refugees, and support the UNHCR, and their work I think it showed how human MIKA is and how much he cares for the people, who are not as lucky as he was, when he could move to Paris, during the dangerous war in Beirut in the 80ies...

kath Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It's always a treat to see Mika on U.K. TV but I have lived in dread of the day that he would be on this dreadful programme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Irish music manager and the Grace Kelly hitmaker travelled to Istanbul, Turkey to make the nailbiting decision as to who goes through to the live shows. Louis looked fresh in a blue fitted shirt and cream chinos while Mika donned a white shirt, badge emblazoned jacket and jeans.

tiibet Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I like that pic, he looks really good and fresh. It will be so nice to hear him speaking English for a change! I wouldn't watch any of these talent shows without him, of course not, but must say they seem to be good steps for his television career (which, in turn, he seems to want). It's hard to believe Rai giving him his own television show without his experience from XF and The Voice. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, MIKAs further carrere, besides his artistic singer/songwriter carrere, started with XF Italy He took it one step further with The Voice, and the rest is history! I look forward to see what comes out of him being in the public eye in the UK again. I always trust MIKA and his judgement for himself, so this will be exciting...

Former judge Cheryl will be assisting Simon, Nicole will be joined by MOBO Award winner Stormzy, BRIT Award winner Mika will be helping Louis and Sharon will be keeping it in the family with her guest judges revealed as Jack and Kelly Osbourne. Mika Mika will be assistant to Louis Walsh as they whittle down the boys in Istanbul. A slightly more surprising choice – Mika hasn’t made a dent on the UK charts for a number of years. After enjoying huge levels of success with his 2007 debut album, Life in Cartoon Motion, Mika has kept performing across Europe with number one hits in Italy and France. The singer is no stranger to The X Factor having served as a judge for three years on the Italian version. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It's the 'Blast from the past' type references that are going to make it even more difficult to bear, plus that fact that in the U.K. even amongst people who used to watch and enjoy XF it's pretty much had its day. Therefore anyone coming into it at this stage appears to be grasping at straws. I'm not trying to be a party pooper- it IS good to see Mika get U.K. exposure but personally I am happier with him airing his expertise on shows like The Art of Song on the radio.

I understand your skepticism to MIKA taking part in what sounds like a boring and old-fashioned program. But if he wants renewed attention in the UK, it doesn't seem to me like he has much choices - or offers! I suppose that all the reviews, reports and attention he gets in the media, find it's way to the MFC. I think I follow it all quite closely, but I didn't see much coming from the UK - in spite of the excellent BBC Radio2 shows "The art of Song" - aired during the last year. Even the Rose D'or Award, which is international and huge, didn't get any attention - did it? Even he won the prize for an Italien TV Channel, he's a London citizen - and the UK should be proud of him, and honour him, imho So let's be positive - and hope this will lead to something better for MIKA ...

Love, love me Mika's image and presence ( or lack of) in the U.K. has always been a contentious issue. I think that the whole XF thing runs deep because it goes against the grain of all Mika's early opinions and values. I think that some of us feel that he has betrayed his roots and ideals. You are absolutely right that he gets no attention here now no matter how successful he is elsewhere. I can not blame him for pursuing his career where he is able to but some of us here in the U.K. do feel let down and abandoned. I realise that there are many other countries that he doesn't do anything in either but he was originally a U.K. artist..... and we were very proud of him. But I remember as we walked to The Palladium ( can't believe that was only last year! ) you were telling us of a negative comment from a member of the public regarding Mika's upcoming performance. Unfortunately there is a lot of that sort of attitude here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I was surprised, and quite shocked, about the negative comment, especially since it came from a man in the staff, unloading the truck outside Palladium - MIKAs equipment for the upcoming performance. But luckily the audience was enthusiastic and fantastic - it all became the big music party he deserved He must have felt like the popking he really is - "don't occupie my thrown, give me the crown I own " And yes, it's strange that it was only last year. I do hope for a new alb. and tour next year, and the possibility to share a MIKA concert with you again Tonight I go to a concert in the south of Norway, with the good, old Manchester band "The Hollies". They have been constantly on tour since 1962, for 55 years! and their hits are still very strong in peoples mind. I expect both old songs, which I know and love very much, and new stuff.

Absolutely, half the fun of any Mika gig is meeting up with old friends - and I love the fact that both you and I were at that gig in Oslo years ago.... but didn't know each other then! Yes, whenever Mika does preform in the UK he is always very well received by the audience and puts on a great show. It's just a shame that he doesn't do it more often. But I think, to be fair to him, he suffers from a lack of confidence regarding performing here.... it's a lot easier for him to perform in France and Italy. If there is a new album next year I don't think we can expect a huge amount of uk gigs but anything would be a bonus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
